Pre-Game Sharks v Manly [Round 7, 2022]

[double hoops]

No way Des plays him unless forced to. He could win multiple man-of-the-matches, then still get dropped. Des is clueless.

Thought he was injured aka Boyle.

Clueless ? That’s priceless 🤦‍♂️

Manly by 1
Main concern is our slower middles ability to close down Mcguiness, who plays with huge energy and often wins Sharks tempo through the middle
I think Okalatu again will be a go too who can tip things Manly's way....if only Tom and Schu were available to destroy Sharks pathetic defensive right edge...
Anyways- Manly by 1 - get on - your Welcome 🤑

Bullemoor back in the middle he will go better, his leg speed there will be dangerous for the Sharks.

Koula unlucky not to be in the 13, Tippytoes has been outstanding returning the ball, deserves his spot and there must be some heat on Parker and Harper when Turbo returns.

Tuitavake must be injured, not been named in NSW cup or the squad last two weeks, hopefully he hasn’t done a Sione and gone somewhere to get a run..

 

[Shoe1]

I read that he was full of painkillers in the shoulder so he could go on for a second stint.

Yep only went back because Keppie was in Disneyland

Toff reflects on our win against the Gold Coast Titans and talks about Thursday's clash against the Cronulla Sharks.

I was under the belief that he was a flying second rower. Wasn't that how he was "sold" to us?
Anyway, he's going to need to do his share of tackling this week.

Played Prop at the Donkeys , but I agree I think he’s a running edge back rower on reality !

 

[Eagle 1]

Seriously this guy will not let us down.

Will tackle all day and has high energy, go for it Barney..

 

[eagle66]

Just have to stop the Shark 6,7 and McInnes. They are the ones I would be concerned about.

When he runs onto Shark Park, it's Bully time. He really needs to make a statement. His season starts on Thursday...go for it Bully, we're all behind you.

He’s talented , but still learning , and he hasn’t moved from Brisbane for the money he’s moved to play first grade in a Premiership winning side!!

Let’s go Bron….sorry , Let’s go Bully

IMO, the Sharks have more firepower in the backs. Harper & Parker need to cut down both their centres who are in very good form. To win, we need to get on top of their forwards for DCE to control field position with his kicking (stating the obvious 🙂)

Wistful prediction: Walker to be the point of difference 🌈

Was really hoping Tuitavake would be fit for selection and jag a bench spot, if it is an injury that's a set back for sure, as he would of been definitely in the frame for 1st's.

We handled the Titan's backs as a whole fairly well, Fartfita was the only one to give us trouble and he did. Good to have 2 good defensive centres in this week, against a smart Sharks backline. Although Kola is really banging on the door now..

 

[ALinda]

Josh A is good when he's playing, but it's a bit of an issue when he continues to be out every few weeks either being injured or suspended...

True, and the same could be said about Schuster as far as injuries are concerned.

 

[Remy]

As depleted as our middles are, this could work in our favour. We got three backup middles playing together to prove themselves to Des, they could all have huge games. Excited to see how Bullemore goes, his leg drive and footwork against tired defenders will be terror for the sharkies. Toff, Bully and KDL are all playing to prove themselves for a spot on our full strength bench so they all better deliver.

 

[Remy]

Disappointed with the Koula dropping, I believe he could've done a job on Talakai on both sides of the ball. But also kinda get it, tryna manage his development and play it safe with Tolu. We saw how Schuster, Harper, and all the younger boys last year wore out when it came to the business end of the year. Gotta play it smarter these times. We'll see if this is the plan by Dessie.

 

[The Insomniac]

Talakai vs Harper. Crickey! We are in trouble there !

Same thing that happened with Guac
